This scroll painting throws you straight into a surreal world where beauty and chaos coexist.

Dismembered bodies run wild, held by an evil chicken.

At the center, a courtesan applies lipstick made of human blood—calmly.

It’s eerily similar to Lipstick by Okamoto Shinso.

But the face? It looks just like Kainosho Tadaoto.

Was this an artistic duel between the two?

Or is it a self-portrait disguised as madness?

What do you think?
